Climate-Smart Farming in African Drylands: wordless book

I was hired by a social enterprise called Ojoba Collective for a very interesting and rewarding project funded by Lush Cosmetics. “Climate-Smart Farming in African Drylands” is wordless book about new methods for sustenance farming in Northern Ghana. The book is both a story and instruction manual, a graphic novel and an infographic. Illustrating this 28-page booklet has been in turns challenging, inspirational, and rewarding.

Testimonial

“I approached Rachelle last year with a handful of illustration and design tasks. The brief had a two-fold nature… the technical specifications were laid out quite firmly, and these were met with absolute precision. Design-wise, a few thoughts were passed on as guidance. This is where Rachelle really shines. She has taken this latter part, met expectations, and taken it further to become an enormously artistic and well-rounded deliverable. Her artistic interpretation added astounding value to the product. A rare cross between amazing illustration capability and technical delivery. Wow.— Pieter Grobler, Founder, Kubisha Ltd.

About Rachelle Meyer.

Rachelle Meyer was born in the state of Texas and spent most of her childhood with her nose in a book. Reading became the wellspring for her continuing passions in life: drawing, storytelling and traveling. She graduated with a degree in Studio Art from the University of Texas at Austin and then spent eight years in New York City working as a graphic artist and designer. She has since moved to Europe and launched a successful career as an illustrator, specializing in children's books and editorial interpretations. Her talents have been used to interpret the work of best-selling authors such as Dave Eggers (A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius), Audrey Niffenegger (The Time Traveler's Wife) and Nick Ortner (The Tapping Solution). She also writes and illustrates her own picture books and graphic novels. She now lives in Amsterdam with her English husband, her Dutch son, and her cranky old New York cat.
